l apologize that is the D-back schedule. However ours is essentially the same. Obviously 9 against the D-back, but 6 versus Pads, 7 versus Rox, 3 versus Dodgers and 3 versus cubs. The Dodgers, however, have 3 against the Reds, and 3 against the Nats and 4 against the Cards. Thus, both us and the D-backs will have an advantage going into the last month.

The entire world doesn't care about baseball...

Assuming Washington keeps up their pace, it's going to be interesting to say the least with that September series. And even then, the Cards have a tendency to heat up towards the end of a season. I think it's a great time to seal the division fate.
